I grew up in an old council house in Scotland, and right in the middle of the housing complex was a stone circle. it was discovered during the house building and dated as over 4000 years old. They are everywhere.

He’s saying “Karn” which is also my last name😂 which is also the only reason I know anything about this, when researching it shows as a pile of stones which originated in wales apparently
@@JamieKarn Your surname is indeed regarded as being from the Welsh word for pile - usually in relation to stones. The Scots Gaelic word is carn, with the modern anglicised version being cairn. The languages are all grouped as the Celtic languages, but there are two sub-groupings: Goidelic (Irish, Gaelic, Manx) and Brythonic (Welsh, Cornish, Breton). As with the Scandinavian languages, there’s a certain amount of mutual intelligibility within the sub-groups at a conversational level, if not with the written word. There’s also some level between the sub-groups but less so. As for Joe’s comment re a Viking word… erm… no.
The same here in Ireland our Dolmens are dated between 5-7,000 BC and passage tombs that line up with sunrise one day a year built to engineering tolerance that would be hard to do today they knew and were in tune with their environment so much better than us, 👍🏻🇮🇪
Ancient burial mounds too. There are at least 3 in Aberdeen alone. Moat Hill in Seaton Park (as the name calls it), was used as a defensive position but, it is at least 2000 years old if not prehistoric & was originally built as a burial mound.

Although Braveheart was a good and entertaining film, it was not an accurate description of our history. For a start, we had a Kings for centuries prior to William Wallace. Scotland had an 'Auld Alliance' with France and our Kings and Queen's (eg Mary Queen of Scots married the Dauphin when she was 16 years of age) married members of the French Royal Family.
It's true, Wallace's death actually started the war that eventually ended with Robert the Bruce on the throne, 20 years later. But hey, why ruin the story, the movie was fun to watch!
As a Scot, I was looking for this comment. Joe talks about Vikings far too much, when it has nothing to do with it. I like Joe, but sometimes, he's the typical ignorant American

The Dinnie stones were sat outside a Hotel called the Potach Inn, just by the Potach Bridge that Dinnie carrried the stones over (Width, not length). It was not unusual for the local young farmers to have a few beers and pick up the stones and walk around with them. These days professional lifters come across to lift them. I am sure the farmers, who are now in their 50’s, would still be able to lift them. Strong as an ox!
There's a dolmen at the bottom of my road called the annadorn dolmen and it's prehistoric and a few miles up the road is ballynoe Stone circle is from 4000bc and is older than the pyramids.
I mean, they might share the same ancestors with you, or more Scottish ancestors than many actually current scots. Do you know if your family line goes back then? I don't.. they very often do.
He was referring to the disarming act of 1715, so it has nothing to do with brave heart. It was put into place as a result of a Jacobite uprising and Jacobite support in the highlands. It’s a Scottish law, focussed on specific areas of Scotland. Although they had a stronghold in the highlands, the Jacobites were from across Britain, as were the pro government forces. This particular uprising was put down by Scottish forces and the law was enacted by a Scottish parliament.
@ hahaha, wtf are you on? Have you ever heard of the Scottish enlightenment? The fact that Scotland is currently a shit hole is down to the scottish not the English. You only have yourselves to blame. 150 years ago and well after the union, Scotland was a leading light in the world.
Neolithic to medieval monuments are common in Scotland and sometimes in close proximity. There is a neolithic henge mound nearby that is called chester hill because chester is the name given to a roman fort. So the henge was reused by the romans.

If you would like to gain a mind-blowing understanding of how globally influential that the Scots have actually been, I highly recommend reading "The Emperor's New Kilt", by Jan-Andrew Henderson. A very informative and hilarious delve into the myths and legends of Scotland.
First rule of rogan university - if you know you have a guest on that’s going to talk about Scotland - take the two minutes in advance to remember where you visited in Scotland less than a year before.
The whole of the British Isles have these circles, since the archipelago, including Orkney and Shetland, was inhabited by the same race of tribes. Stonehenge was the work of this unnamed race, who would be broken up into subsets by the Greeks & Romans. Picts, Scoti ect. Irish, Scots, Welsh and the numerous island indigenous people are descendants of a very ancient people, much older than the Celts who arrived thousands of years later and integrated.
Ancient ancestors in order: 1. Western Hunter Gatherer - here after the Ice age. 2. Early European Stone Age Farmers - 4100BC. 3. Western Bell Beaker - 2500BC.
It's funny to see Army reels of groups of Soldiers struggling to carry logs as a team and then watch a Scotsman walk into the arena, with one over his shoulder, then 'Tossing' it on his own. 😄
I'm very proud of my Scottish heritage. On my dad's side I'm 3rd generation Simmons, who came from Edinburgh Scotland in the late 1800's. and on my mother's side I'm Irish and german.
You're not Scottish. You are what we call bumbee tartan. Basically a bit of everything. I am Scottish. Born and bred and can trace my family back on both sides hundreds of years. That is what being scottish means
@@Kazza_8240Let him enjoy it. If we moved to America we'd tell our kids about how great Scotland was too and all the stories etc. What good is our history if it can't be passed down and enjoyed this way?
@@Mark-Haddow yes that is true, but it is in the middle of the south pacific. As remote a place as you can get on earth, meaning very very hard to get too!
The callanish standing stones are over 4000 years old, make Stonehenge look like a baby in comparison. This is what makes them special, plus Scotland has some of the oldest rock in the world and is one of the world’s oldest countries. That enough for you?
The Inver Stone was outside Inver Cottage for many years, but in 2021 it was relocated to the Braemar Games Centre. It weighs 260lbs. Its history is not as exciting as you made out. It dates back to the 1700’s when it was used as a weights and measures device for weighing sacks of corn and wheat. People only started lifting it in recent history.
The whole "the Scottish weren't allowed weapons" is a misunderstanding of history. *Peasantry* weren't allowed to possess weaponry regardless of where they were from. Even we English trained with stones (there's skeletons which show weight training since youth, and records explain how people kept strong lifting large stones), you might say "but what about bow training?", bows were tools for hunting so commoners were allowed to own them, not to mention swords were very expensive
@@Robert_90dayfianceUK There was a period where not only weapons, but bagpipes and kilts were banned, in an effort to prevent future rebellions. They were later allowed in an attempt to get more Scots to join the British army. Also, before gunpowder was widespread, training with a bow was mandatory in England for all boys of a certain age. It's how they were able to use the longbow but no one else could effectively. The strength required to repeatedly draw a longbow is ridiculous. The average Englishman at the time would be so top heavy they would look like Johnny Bravo.
Not true. Wales, England and Ireland did just as much. You’re always patting yourselves on the back. Give it a rest, the UK is the best in the world!👍🏻🇬🇧
@Roz-y2d Google individually, Welsh inventions, English inventions, Irish inventions, then Scottish inventions.....then get back to us 🤣 Fk the UK, SCOTLAND is the best in the world! 💪🏻🏴
There is lots of stone structures in Scotland and Ireland that predate the pyramids. The celts history is amazing to the were in tune with Mother Nature. Most of their special dates have been high jacked by religion
The Romans invaded Scotland 3 times....the 3rd one was the largest travelling army the Roman Empire ever fielded (think about Roman history and realise how massive a thing that is). They built HUNDREDS of forts (they ONLY built forts seldomly for protection) and after 8yrs they had only got to the central belt.....THEN they met the Picts. The Roman empire had only just managed to capture the weaker south after 8yrs.....they captured the entirety of Egypt in a LOT less time.
While visiting Orkney, Neil Oliver and a group of archaeologists uncovered a huge settlement and ancient stones. This was indeed much bigger and Neil claimed that this was also older than Stonehenge. How can you not remember where you were in Scotland Joe? I live near Glasgow, Scotland, the United Kingdom.
A cave that William Wallace used to go to and chill out is in the same shire as me. Only found out about it this year, after living here for 46 years. Definitely visiting this summer.
Love my Scottish ancestors the Clark clan came over here and became politically involved Abraham Clark from New Jersey signed the declaration of independence
Stone circles all over the north east where I live, ruins obv. Before the vikings came, one in particular we hung about as kids, creepy/weird vibe. Hated the place. 🏴👊🏻
The standing stones are much more spiritual and confusing, you might want to look into the lines etc. and where they came from physically. Aside from that want to piss it up or Highlands the three FFFs (Fishing Fighting other one, can't fish that long in a year or can't be bothered with it) you'd all be most welcome. :)
Before any building work can be done archaeologists come in and record any historical evidence and take away any arfifacts for conservation. My kids are archaeologists and worked on Orkney and in castles.
A lot of the rocks are carried by glacier. I thought alot of what the guy was saying was fake Scottish Americanisms but apparently its true. Also hawk stones. Land disputes decided by where a hawk lands.
Be careful what you hear about old standing stones in England as most of them were built by Victorians to create tourist destinations my grandfathers cousin rebuild stone henge 😂😂😂

@@Kazza_8240Let him enjoy it. If we moved to America we'd tell our kids about how great Scotland was too and all the stories etc. What good is our history if it can't be passed down and enjoyed this way?
Simmons is an English name.
Standing stone circles are everywhere around the World.. There is even one in Tahiti, the Middle of the the South Pacific..
Literally one in my backyard…
The one in Tahiti is basically new in comparison. The one on Orkney is older than the Pyramids.
@@Mark-Haddow yes that is true, but it is in the middle of the south pacific. As remote a place as you can get on earth, meaning very very hard to get too!
The callanish standing stones are over 4000 years old, make Stonehenge look like a baby in comparison. This is what makes them special, plus Scotland has some of the oldest rock in the world and is one of the world’s oldest countries. That enough for you?
There's still roman fort ruins in Scotland, Ardoch fort I think is one
Is it Orkney?
Just outside my village in Northern Ireland we have a dolman, its very old. Unfortunately all these things were around long before recorded history 😔
The Inver Stone was outside Inver Cottage for many years, but in 2021 it was relocated to the Braemar Games Centre.
It weighs 260lbs.
Its history is not as exciting as you made out. It dates back to the 1700’s when it was used as a weights and measures device for weighing sacks of corn and wheat.
People only started lifting it in recent history.
Some of what they were saying was absolute gash
The whole "the Scottish weren't allowed weapons" is a misunderstanding of history.
*Peasantry* weren't allowed to possess weaponry regardless of where they were from.
Even we English trained with stones (there's skeletons which show weight training since youth, and records explain how people kept strong lifting large stones), you might say "but what about bow training?", bows were tools for hunting so commoners were allowed to own them, not to mention swords were very expensive
I'm guessing he was referring to after the Jacobite rebellion when weapons were largely outlawed for Scots for a period of time.
@@Robert_90dayfianceUK There was a period where not only weapons, but bagpipes and kilts were banned, in an effort to prevent future rebellions. They were later allowed in an attempt to get more Scots to join the British army.
Also, before gunpowder was widespread, training with a bow was mandatory in England for all boys of a certain age. It's how they were able to use the longbow but no one else could effectively. The strength required to repeatedly draw a longbow is ridiculous. The average Englishman at the time would be so top heavy they would look like Johnny Bravo.
@AayJayEmm I know mate, I was just purely addressing that one point briefly lol cheers though, always good to share some history 😊
@@Robert_90dayfianceUK Haha fair. Cheers Rab
@AayJayEmm Rob 😉🤣 We're not aw Rabs 🤣
No country has invented more things than us scots
They don't say 'Scotland invented the modern world' for nothing 😄
We invited everything 🤣,go us 😂✊🏴
Very true.Hail Caledonia
Not true. Wales, England and Ireland did just as much. You’re always patting yourselves on the back. Give it a rest, the UK is the best in the world!👍🏻🇬🇧
@Roz-y2d Google individually, Welsh inventions, English inventions, Irish inventions, then Scottish inventions.....then get back to us 🤣
Fk the UK, SCOTLAND is the best in the world! 💪🏻🏴
Haha that’s where the English who came to annoy us met the sword and axe 🪓 😂
Aren't you still under England's rule?
Never have never will
Englishman who has lived in Scotland for 20 years and I can confirm they are and have never been "ruled" by anyone
@@philbogle9188 My bad. Just remind me who makes their laws and where their taxes are sent?
@@Edge-of-Reasonas an Englishman who’s lived in Scotland for 18 years I’ll second that, in fact my Scottish wife rules me. I’m considered conquered 👍
The stone circle of Lewis ?
We live with our history that what makes Scotland so great we have history through every town through hundreds of year just merged together 😂
Inver means 'mouth of' in Scots gaelic 'Inbhir' x
There is lots of stone structures in Scotland and Ireland that predate the pyramids. The celts history is amazing to the were in tune with Mother Nature. Most of their special dates have been high jacked by religion
I'm Peterhead. Cousins in the broch though and lived in lonely for 25 years or so
"Peter Reid fae Peterhead is deid. Volvo for Sale" - Hector Brocklebank
@@matthewdevalle404long no hearing that 😂😂
The Romans invaded Scotland 3 times....the 3rd one was the largest travelling army the Roman Empire ever fielded (think about Roman history and realise how massive a thing that is). They built HUNDREDS of forts (they ONLY built forts seldomly for protection) and after 8yrs they had only got to the central belt.....THEN they met the Picts. The Roman empire had only just managed to capture the weaker south after 8yrs.....they captured the entirety of Egypt in a LOT less time.
Scott's didn't arrive in britian until after the roman empire collapse
The Picts are a minority now and the ones who fought the romans not Scotland.
Right, how many americans here are descendants of "braveheart"
There’s a few down the borders some on private land now I worked on a few landed properties the battle of philiphaugh springs to mind 🏴❤
These even a map of Scotland carved into stone and no one knows how old it is or who built it
While visiting Orkney, Neil Oliver and a group of archaeologists uncovered a huge settlement and ancient stones. This was indeed much bigger and Neil claimed that this was also older than Stonehenge.
How can you not remember where you were in Scotland Joe? I live near Glasgow, Scotland, the United Kingdom.
A cave that William Wallace used to go to and chill out is in the same shire as me. Only found out about it this year, after living here for 46 years. Definitely visiting this summer.
that settlement was discovered long before neil oliver got there.
A Karin😂😂
Cairn. Like Kay-R-N
Love my Scottish ancestors the Clark clan came over here and became politically involved Abraham Clark from New Jersey signed the declaration of independence
Stone circles all over the north east where I live, ruins obv. Before the vikings came, one in particular we hung about as kids, creepy/weird vibe. Hated the place. 🏴👊🏻
During the 'Braveheart' days 😂
So glad my mother was Scottish! 🏴
“Hey I’m 7/4ths Scots” bolt
Sounds like he was in aviemore :)
Yes, we've got a stone circle and 5 Castles within our City (Dundee).
The pile of syones is called a Cairn . Cair rhymes with bear
The scots gave so many inventions to the modern world its unreal ,not boasting it amazed me at school when i learned now it can be googled 😅.
The standing stones are much more spiritual and confusing, you might want to look into the lines etc. and where they came from physically.
Aside from that want to piss it up or Highlands the three FFFs (Fishing Fighting other one, can't fish that long in a year or can't be bothered with it) you'd all be most welcome. :)
Glaswegian here 👍
Dundee scotland wee take no shit banackburn sent the english home to think again 🏴🏴🏴
Joe: There's a stone circle that is way older than Stonehenge...
Also Joe: Nobody knows how old it is! 🙂
Ye yooooozed me Skinner! Ye yoooooozed me!
Back to you’re cartoons child
We in Scotland have a saying,
Skara Brae was ancient when they STARTED building the Pyramids.
The highlight games.
It’s Pictiish mate the Picts 3000 or 4000years ago
Nobody here takes Braveheart seriously its historically in-accurate asf
You were in Scotland but you don’t know where ffs! Stop the terrible impersonations too, it’s embarrassing.
Before any building work can be done archaeologists come in and record any historical evidence and take away any arfifacts for conservation. My kids are archaeologists and worked on Orkney and in castles.
A lot of the rocks are carried by glacier. I thought alot of what the guy was saying was fake Scottish Americanisms but apparently its true. Also hawk stones. Land disputes decided by where a hawk lands.
Some drivel talked here. Utter bollocks.
As a scotsmen, this hasn't much history
Keep this secret respect
If only it was a scotsman telling these tales.
Be careful what you hear about old standing stones in England as most of them were built by Victorians to create tourist destinations my grandfathers cousin rebuild stone henge 😂😂😂
